Special Master Clarifies Scope of Materials to Be Produced for In Camera Review

February 16, 2025

Special Master David Folsom, appointed by Eastern District of Texas Chief Judge Rodney Gilstrap, has clarified that his prior order requiring CogniPower, LLC to produce for in camera review “all communications and documentation related to the [a prior art witness’s] deposition and originating from any attorney or paralegal at the firm of Irell & Manella LLP” is to include all such communications following that deposition. The due date for the production is February 18. This inquiry relates to resolving a motion for sanctions against CogniPower filed by defendant Samsung in which the allegation is that an Irell associate used at the deposition a prior art “demonstrative with an altered date”. A court-ordered deposition of that Irell associate, conducted by court appointed counsel, revealed that the “altered date” scheme may have involved at least one other lawyer at Irell.
